2011-12-03 Thread Matthew Wastell
I can't remember why now, but whilst you argument seems logical, it doesn't
work out that way, a water rad is smaller than the equivalent air one.  It's
also much easier to get a nice plumbing route for the air.

Thanks Matthew.  Haven't completely ruled out water intercooling, but the
issue was cost.  Also whether its water or air the radiator has to do the
same amount of work as an intercooler and take the same amount of heat away
to get the same cooling ie same size rad as intercooler, although haven't
thought it through fully yet.  Space around the radiator is very very tight
on the Xtreme and I woun't make a final decision until I've got the nose
cone off and sussed it out.  Up till now my main focus has been feasibilty.
I have concluded it is feasible at a reasonable cost, so am proceeding.
On your did you seal the decomp plate on one side and gasket the other or
use two gaskets?  I prefer the former.

Nigel

 Check on your Zetec block, the silver top Zetecs have the oil pressure

 You can use this for your turbo oil feed.
 Once you start getting the pressure switch, a pressure gauge sender and
the turbo take off all on the place it starts getting messy.

 Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme Zetec Turbo

 Right guys
 Here's all the areas being addressed.
 Turbo about 0.42 A/R on turbine to minimise lag; external wastegate, 
 will sit high towards top of engine bay. Unfortunately space is a 
 problem due to Raceline water rail and alternator on exhaust side, 
 may have to move alternator/ auxiliary pulley.
 Exhaust manifold, making myself, currently drawing up on CAD. To be 
 fabricated in 45mm stainless Cylinder head.  Will gas flow and port 
 etc myself, spacer to be used to drop compression.  Haven't done the 
 calcs yet for thickness, will probably go Ferriday.
 Oil feed.  Flow off the pressure switch, return to be drilled into 
 the block above oil level, minimum 13mm diameter, ideally higher.
 Vent in bonnett onto turbo to help cooling, outlet vents on side 
 near scuttle.
 Intercooler exact position to be determined and a problem to get one 
 large enough, hence the bonnet vent. Don't want to use water cooler.
 Installation may be similar to Quantum Mark's supercharged version, 
 but ideally I would need a larger intercooler for turbo.
 Blow off valve on air intake after intercooler.
 Heavy duty clutch, exact one not yet addressed.  May try a similar 
 route to Jim's.
 Depending on turbo type may not have water cooling, jury out on this.

 Matthew, couldn't access the web link you provided, did try. Itried 
 direct link and cut and pasting the address. Did you modify the 
 clutch on yours.

 Think thats about everything.
